No trouble is as big as it looks at a distance.?Selected. Maybe its a good thing that mirrors reverse the facts. When the future can't hold its own with the past as a conversational subject, you're a has-been. Most of the shadows that cross our path through life are caused by our standing in our own light. The ownership of a child is prettyj satisfactory. The parents usually are glad that they have him, and neighbors, too, are glad that the parents have him. The man who is satisfied with his lot in life is a failure. The successful person never (juits, never stops and examines his accomplishments with the feeling that he lias done well. There is always more to be done. And if one does not continue to conquer difficulties, he is a failure.? Selected. Church Meeting Day One of the local ministers made the suggestion recently that one day each week be reserved by the ladies of the town for church meetings. "It would avoid incessant conflicts with other social and civic organizations," he poined out, "and would leave one day open for weekday church activities." This appears to be a sound idea; maybe not a popular one, but practical. Eliminated, then, will be "I'm sorry I can't take that program, but my pinochle club meets that day;" or "I wish I could go, but the club meets that day at my house and I simply must have it this time"; etc. Of course, there's the argument that church activities, whether they be scheduled for week-day or Sabbath, should take precedence over all others; and that is true. But we see in this effort to create orderliness no compromise with worianness. We'd like to see the plan given a trial here. Start At Howe We were talking the other day to Paul , Kelly, assistant director of the North Carolina Department of Conservation and j Development, and we asked him just how , our section could share in more of the benefits of the work of the department. , "By starting more worthwhile projects with which we can assist," was his ready , rejoinder. "You see, the department actually instigates very few of the projects with which it becomes identified. Most of our effort is spent in co-operating with people in various localities in North Carolina. Frequently we are criticised by people who charge that we are showing favoritism toward some particular section. Investigation of the true facts usually reveals that those whom we are helping started out to help themselves, and those who are squaking are sttting back wait ingr tor someDoay 10 come in ana promote something." That explanation, coming from a fairminded man like Mr. Kelly, sounds reasonable enough to us. We Are Proud I Each week when the list of new re(t | cruits is released from the U. S. Army f recruiting office in Wilmington we are gratified at the large number of boys from this county whose names are included. The draft law has not yet gone into effect, and there has been no noticeable increase in enlistments by boys from this section since the conscription law became an imminent possibility. Pure patriotism, a desire to serve their nation, is the only motive prompting these volunteers. ^^^Response from our immediate vicinity | t is one thing that has made it possible for & |fiiris corns area to lead all others in the f p?mb*Vof volunteer enrollees during the past year. Up north, they say, in the citie? there is much song singing and hand clapping 3bout things patriotic. But it is down South, where the people are pursuing their normal way, that the volunteers are showing up. We are proud of the south, and we are _ particularly proud of our county and the red-blooded American boys who comprise its citizenry. ir Get Ready For Winter ? 0' Here comes winter. In a very short ir c( space of time a large part of the coun- y try will be experiencing rainy days and cold nights. And not far away are the ^ months of snow and sleet and storm. p Winter is something to get ready for. That means buying new warm clothes, or repairing and cleaning old ones. It means buying wood and coal and fuel oil. It means .fixing that leaky spot in w the roof that has been neglected during si the dry summer. And finally, to the wise w householder, it means taking special pre- ^ cautions against a destroyer that waits for winter?fire. Have your furnace inspected?and have p that inspection done by somebody who as knows what to look for. It's no Work Pf for an amateur. Have needed repairs ef- ^ fected at once. See that chimneys and ni flues are properly cleaned. Hard-pressed ? heating plants in bad order are one of in the most prolific sources of home fires. It's no fun to wake up in the middle of hi the night and suddenly realize that your w house is burning away beneath you. p Winter means that you'll use lights b< oftener. Exposed electric wiring should P' be checked. Pay special attention to lamp a? cords under rugs and around baseboards ai ?they fray in time, and when that happens a short circuit may occur. Electricity, jr' mishandled, is one of fire's potent allies. Go through your whole house and get rid of any and all accumulations?oia m clothes, old papers and magazines, col- m lections of rags, etc. They make a fine starting place for fire?and spontaneous ignition isn't so rare a phenomenon as w you may think. I31 in ? ? a, The Brenner Meeting jj1 Was Pure Psychology at The Nazis and the Fascists are doing ^ their best to whoop up some enthusiasm jn ove rthe meeting of the Fuerheh and II a' Duce last Friday at the Brenner Pass in ^ the hope that it will instill in the minds <jf of the British and American peoples a terror and fear as to what awful fate ^ might await them as a result of the "his- w toric" tete-a-te. tY To a person who has not followed pI closely the proceedings leading up to the cc Brenner Pass meeting, there might be ^ some chance of the dictators achieving ti that end. But to the calculative minds of in the British and American people, the get to-gether of Hitler and Mussolini was lit- tc tie more than a friendly chat across the tea table. cc The average Britisher and American tl is well-aware of the desperation which h< confronts the two would-be conquerers ?' even at the present moment, and knows N lUllIlCl L 11 cl L LI 1 lo IIICCLUlg WOO UCOlftllCU more for its psychological than military ?a consequences. a\ Hitler, for the first time in his wild be and fantastic career, has met an obstacle ^ which he does not know how to over- 4. come?a nut too hard to crack, and with American aid to the British not helping ^ him to crack that nut any more easily, ar the Battle of Britain seems to be stalemated at least for the moment. Coupled th with Mussolini's failure in Egypt, where ea his forces are bogged down in the Egyptian desert, it is not surprising that, lacking the ability to add to their military th successes, the dictators turn to propa- b? ganda to kee ptheir own people interest- ^ ed in the wrar, and try to frighten the ar British and the Americans. in In all phases, the Brenner Pass strate- pl gy, we believe failed of its purpose. n< Every thinking American and Britisher ea knows that if Hitler had been prepared Tgl ? -Ci ~ ,1 a Li'i.i ? ?_ -a n mi a iuii-neugeu umzKrieg against ling- al land, he would have taken advantage of le good flying weather, before the fall fogs and rains, and before the unfavorable conditions on the Channel set in. ai And, with the German and Italian peo- A pie, as well as the rest of the conquered si continent, facing a winter of starvation, ? it's going-to take more than a tea talk w between their two leaders to satisfy them, ht Already there is a reported growing undercurrent of dissatisfaction in Germany's population. In Italy, where the people had vi been promised a short war, there are like ^ reports of unrest. a) Adding up all the facts, weighing a them carefully, it is oura belief that the 11 second Brenner Pass meeting achieved the sum total of nothing in the current l state of world affairs. |lr THE STATE PORT P YOUR HOME AGENT SAYS HOME DEMONSTRATION SCHEDULE Thursday, Oct, 10, Mt.

NICE DEER HERD Miss Emma Lou Harrelson and Bob Godfrey of Orton are reporting that they saw a herd of 8 nice deer feeding in a field on the edge of the plantation Saturday morning. The animals showed no concern over the nearby car stopping to permit the occupants to make a count. As snakes are still on the prowl, looking for winter quarters, local deer hunters have not been overly anxious to get out and get their quotas of two deer for the season. They say they will get them easily and in due time, when it turns cooler. NETS A MARLIX Fishing for mullets at Long Beach Saturday morning, Bifly Newton caught a small blue 1 marlin in his net. The fish was s a beautiful little specimen and was presented to W. B. Keziah. All sorts of young big game fish J are often caught in nets along the Brunswick coast and they are a sure indication that the 1 bigger fellows are to be found ? further out, if sportsmen care to s look for them. They just don't care to look, not while they know ' there are plenty of barracuda at | Frying Pan. FOX HUNTERS COMING Sheriff Bob Mays of Alexander county has been coming to Southport about every fall for a quarter of a century to have some real fox hunting.

This week he wfote his friend W. B. Keziah and told him that just as soon as the election was over he and a lot of fellows and their hounds were coming to Southport for a week.

PIGSKIN REVUE:?The season's over?unless Wake can get by Clemson Saturday. Here it is the second week in October and both Carolina and Duke have been beaten. Having seen them romp on the Tar Heels, we'll take a timid chance on the Deacons to beat Clemson. But, Mates, that'll be a ball game.
